Ton opens up about the anger and frustration of missing profitable meme coin trades He admits that watching tokens skyrocket shortly after he sells can leave him furious, especially when he correctly identifies their potential before other traders. He explains that his current financial situation has forced him to abandon his usual patient trading style, making it harder to hold positions with confidence and leaving him frustrated with his recent performance.

0xjaqs reveals who he believes is one of the most underrated traders "I wanna say Pullup. People see someone cook like 100K on fomo and then they have this massive candle." "But then you look at traders like Pullup, made a mil on Asteroid off $800, and no one knows who he is, or no one knew who he was until a couple months ago since he started actively streaming." "There's people like that. That's the one that instantly comes to mind." "He is trading on fomo, but it's under an alias, so I don't wanna leak. Maybe he has some future plans with that one."

0xjaqs shares his advice for beginner meme coin traders "Number one is join these groups and surround yourself with people. Even if you join these groups, people aren't gonna be your friend. They don't give a fuck about you at the end of the day. We're all here to make money." "Coming into crypto with friends always helps. Find a friend that is like-minded, has the same goals, wants to make some money with you, and is willing to spend the time required and put in the effort needed." "As hard as it is, you probably should be paper trading for your first month." "Until you can understand what makes a coin go up, why coins go up, and things of this nature, you shouldn't be trading. That's the reality of it. Any trading you're doing is gambling." "For new traders, I would be focusing on not new pairs, but looking for those coins between maybe 20 and 200K that could go to $2, $3, $4 million and just hitting those rinse and repeat." "Those trades can be completed in a very short timeframe, and it's easy to just hit them and move on to the next one." "They come around every day. There is a $2-4 million runner every day."

0xjaqs reveals which successful on-chain traders he looks to for confirmation when evaluating potential meme coin opportunities "Obviously it's people in my group, which I don't want to name names 'cause people might get mad if I don't say their name." "In terms of seeing other traders on-chain, traders that I look up to, some that come off the top of my head are Frank, Rowdy Profit, the Grand boys, the Troop boys." "There's tons of smart people on-chain. That's generally who I look for for confirmation." "I don't want to give these guys bigger candles than they already have, but there's a reason they have these candles, right?" "They've all cooked 8 figures, 9 figures on-chain, and that's the reality."

0xjaqs explains why AI-related crypto tokens are his bread and butter, preferring them over meme coins that depend heavily on teams, narratives, and promotional hype He believes AI tokens are valued primarily on the quality of their underlying technology and the capabilities of their developers, rather than relying on influential individuals to drive demand "These AI coins are my bread and butter. I love them." "I'm not good at buying these K coins and these things that rely on teams and people and narratives." "These AI coins, they go as high as good as the tech is or as good as the dev is. That's how they're priced, and that's why I like them a lot." "They don't rely on people to buy them or teams to push them or any entity." "They just rely on how good the dev is and how good the tech is and how aligned the dev is with the coin essentially."

History never repeats, but it often rhymes $PEPE skipped the initial $240M range that $DOGE had established and ran straight to $1.8B before retracing all the way back to $240M. $DOGE, on the other hand, only retraced to $850M because it had already built a higher base at $240M instead of starting from zero. From there, $PEPE exploded from $240M straight to $13B, once again skipping the range in between. Meanwhile, $DOGE climbed from $850M to $13B. When both retraced, $DOGE held a higher floor again at $2.7B because it had established that $850M base earlier. $PEPE fell further, to $950m, having never built that same foundation. Both ran to $1.8B before retracing. Both ran to $13B before retracing. So the question is: Will $PEPE skip the range again? Could $PEPE go from $950m straight to $97B? That's up to your imagination to decide. There is no cap on a meme. Market cap is the meme. BTC itself is a meme. Memecoins behave differently from most traditional assets. Instead of experiencing diminishing returns with each cycle, their moves can become increasingly parabolic, with each leg more explosive than the last. Something else worth noting: On the second leg, $DOGE retraced to $850M while $PEPE fell to $240M, a difference of roughly 70%. Applying that same 70% decrease to $DOGE's third-leg retracement of $2.7B would put $PEPE at around $800M, remarkably close to the $950M level it actually reached.

0xjaqs explains why traders should stick to their original investment thesis instead of automatically rebuying meme coins simply because their prices have dropped He argues that once a token's anticipated catalyst has played out and attracted the expected buyers, the trade may already be complete He acknowledges that new developments can justify reentering a position, emphasizing that traders should evaluate whether the thesis has genuinely changed rather than blindly enforcing a rule against rebuying

0xjaqs explains why repeatedly buying back into meme coins he's already profited from has become one of his biggest trading weaknesses "I feel like I took that trade for a reason, right? I clearly like the coin or resonated with the coin or thought it was good because of whatever reason." "It's easy to rebuy coins like that because 99% of coins that come out are just slop at the end of the day. So the good shit, you wanna pull every dollar you can out of it." "That's why I think it's easy to fall into the trap of rebuying." "There might be a subconscious thing involved with that, like, 'Oh, I cooked on this. Let me just reblast it on a dip.'" "But sometimes the trade is just complete. I know people like JS, he has a rule where he just doesn't rebuy coins no matter what." "But obviously with that, you miss a ton of coins as well. Maybe you sold because of X, Y, Z, and then the thesis changed or whatever." "It's a problem that I've definitely struggled with a lot as well. I'm sure many other people do as well."

Memati reveals one of his strictest trading rules: Never trade when experiencing stress, fear, anger, or emotional distress, even if those feelings have nothing to do with crypto He says that whenever his emotions interfere with his trading, he immediately steps away from the screens to go fishing, meet friends, or do something social until his mind clears He believes emotional control, combined with disciplined risk management and the ability to identify strong narratives, is what allows him to return to trading with a clearer mindset and make better decisions

bystevenr explains how he discovers promising meme coins early by constantly scanning fomo's Graduated and Trending tabs while monitoring emerging narratives on TikTok and Instagram "I think on fomo is perfect. You can really just look at every single token that comes out on the Graduated tab, Trending, and just see these type of tokens." "If you're just doom scrolling on TikTok, on Instagram, you'll find that a lot of these narratives that present themselves are on social media as well." "I'm just glued to my screen. I'm looking at every single token, going through every single post linked to them, and there really is no easy way to do it. You have to scan everything." "Don't fade anything. You just wanna look into everything and really make sure that you're doing due diligence. You can have other people also help you with it. You find a token, you send it in a group."
